Oh, and I can stick my kids in the back to cheer for me as we zoom onto the Interstate and kill mustangs at red lights. Mind you I am very clear that we are not breaking laws. Boost in a BRZ/FRS is like ice cream on apple pie. It's not required but sure is better.

I wonder what % of owners actully mod the engine to produce more power. everyone makes it sound so trouble free and easy. There is a reason people like to look at production cars as is, or with very minimal mods. Warantees are super important to a lot of people. People who can only own one car and have to use it to drive to work everyday. If it breaks down, its not just some minor annoyance. It is money, and tons of time trying to figure out how to get to work and how to get it fixed and to and from the shop.
Its not so easy to "just add some power". if you void the warantee and make the car unreliable, really, whats the benefit of it over a used car, which is much cheaper? What advatage does it have over a used s2k? Or e36? Or flying miata?
